Abbey also secured a role in the psychological horror film, Neon Demon.

In the movie, the starlet plays Sarah, an ageing model whose obsession with co-star Elle Fanning's character Jesse drives her to bloodletting extremes.

The movie loosely draws inspiration from the tale of Countess Báthory, a 16th-century Hungarian noblewoman who purportedly tortured and mutilated the bodies of young girls, bathing in their blood to maintain her youthful appearance.

'I f***ing hope that my performance is good enough to shut them all up,' she told Dazed and Confused. 'I guess we'll see. I wanted to not only do my character justice, but for the film to do the industry justice, and I wanted it to be right.'
